I have only primary school education. I graduated it on 93 year something, I think... don't remember. For me it was probably really a waste of time, don't know, if I'm a idiot or didn't liked learning, or both... but I got passed only because teachers knew, that I'm too dumb for them.. Why to work with someone unbreakable, who don't learn anyway. There was only one teacher, who was enough stupid to waste my and her own time for summer classes to me.. she was probably a agent of KGB.. how else she was so damn stupid.

I did even not tried, to go into some highschool, because for this. I should cover first all primary school things, that I missed on first time.

I don't get how peoples are able to learn so well. What is the power that makes them study, but me not.

most of the teenagers feel that way towards school..but believe me you won't realize the value of learing at college or school untill you search for a job ..the most important thing is certifications nowadays..
but for me I think if someone read sufficiant books in all the feilds, he maybe more educated than Harfard boys.. it's about the well of learning!
yet, your progress at school doesn't necessarly reflects your progress at life wat I'm trying to say is if you were such a dumb at school, that doesn't mean you are dumb outside school too..most of the ppl suck in school but they do well in training schools

I agree with the idea of innocent eyes that not all of well-educated men can succeed in life. That's absolutely right! but it's not a waste.
as far as i know, a psychological book has taught me that a man with a high IQ indicator can not have a chance to succeed in life like the one who has a high IE indicator does.
Studying all time to be a good student, that's really a waste of time,I think you have to be trained about everything in life before having a key to success. That depends on your intelligence and also your emotion, that's which IE indicates.
But for me, studying is not a waste of time, each time you study is the time for you to extend your horizons (also your knowledge of humans and humanity).

I must be mad but I have to say it I love school. I truly enjoyed my high school years and by saying that I mean also the process of studying and taking tests. I know some teens find it boring and stupid but where else would I learn so many interesting things about literature or biology etc etc. I really think that education is one of the most important thing we can achieve and now having graduated and being on holidays I really need to admit I miss school and studying like hell!!!!

Although I didn't like going to school when I was a student, I had to study more, especially English!
Of course I can study English now. But I can't have time to study like before. It is difficult to find time while working.
I envy you.
